Don’t know if WordCamp is for you?  New to WordPress and still trying to understand it all?  This year, WordCamp Lehigh Valley will be offering a morning of “unboxing” a WordPress site.  Designed for those new to WordPress, this full morning track will be hands-on.   Attendees will have a fresh new install to learn and try new things on!  Your afternoon can be spent attending the other interesting sessions of WordCamp Lehigh Valley, visiting our “Happiness Bar”, and meeting other WordPress users from our area.

“Getting Started with WordPress” will be taught by veteran teachers Kerch McConlogue and Reed Gustow.  When you purchase your ticket make sure you check “Are you interested in a beginners track?”  More information will be available soon.   Grab your laptop and tell your friends!  We’ll see you August 19th!
